REACH
Throughout 2017 Liverpool Girls' High School has been reviewing the principles that underpin positive student behaviour. Our new REACH code makes our expectations explicit to ensure that Liverpool Girls' High School is a positive learning community focused on students who strive to succeed.
A positive approach to learning with clear expectations will provide clear guidelines for the school community. Through having clearly articulated expectations, students are able to engage more in their learning in positive ways, gaining success and thriving in a school that has clear purpose and direction.
In 2018 the school will be fully implementing the new approach based on Positive Behaviour for Learning.
